As part of its core work, the WHO generates, translates and disseminates knowledge, including through guideline development. In recent years, substantial work has been undertaken to revise the Evidence to Decision framework in order to fully integrate inter alia human rights. This paper describes an innovative methodological approach taken by the authors to inform law and policy recommendations for the forthcoming third edition of the Safe Abortion: Technical and Policy Guidance for Health Systems. The methodology described here effectively integrates human rights protection and enjoyment as part of health outcomes and analysis, ensuring that subsequent recommendations are consistent with international human rights standards. This will allow guideline users to make informed decisions on interventions, including legal and policy reform, to fulfil relevant human rights including the right to health.
作为其核心工作的一部分,世卫组织生成、翻译和传播知识,包括通过制定准则。近年来,为了全面纳入包括人权在内的内容,世卫组织对证据到决策框架进行了大量修订。本文介绍了作者为即将出版的《安全堕胎:卫生系统技术和政策指南》第三版提供法律和政策建议所采取的创新方法。本文描述的方法有效地将人权保护和享有人权作为健康结果和分析的一部分,确保随后的建议符合国际人权标准。这将使准则使用者能够就干预措施,包括法律和政策改革,做出知情决策,以履行相关人权,包括健康权。
